Check in staff was super helpful in finding the parking lot in the back of the building. Close to castle, shopping, marathon, pubs, etc. This was a great little town and would recommend this stop to anyone visiting Ireland. The food in the pub was good. The music was fun.

This was a fun location, downtown, with 3 stories of pubs. Bakery and coffee shop across the street. Our only complaint is that even though we made our reservation well in advance for two rooms, four adults, one of the rooms we were given was a handicap accessible room which made showering a challenge, resulting in a very wet bathroom.

Fine hotel. Nice staff. A bit aged but clean and very noisy as construction going on very early. Noisy street and pub noise at night. Nice beds. Tough night sleeping above noise.

An older property in a convenient location. Very nice staff. Restaurant serves a tasty breakfast at a reasonable price. Only negatives are: shower curtain sticks to your body while showering because it’s too short and tub is narrow; hair dryer power button must be depressed during drying process which hurts my hand after a while.

Not for the light sleeper
Location is ideal for the city, and the breakfast was great, however don’t discount the noise problem. The hotel encompasses a nightclub and our room, at least, was severely impacted (a family member in a nearby room reported no problems, in fairness). Thumping music until the early hours (this was midweek and music went to 2.30-3am) followed by rowdy, drunk patrons inside and outside of the hotel. We got little sleep over our 2 nights.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel altogether was modern enough, very clean,staff were helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable, large and clean. There is no air conditioning or memory foam mattresses but they never advertised as such so it was expected, the bed was comfortable enough. The bar and the restaurant were something else, very good food ,not very expensive. The bar was amazing, they encased an old gothic church ruins under in the new building one of the most beautiful bars I've ever been to. Barman was the nicest man.

Traditional hotel/bar.
The Milford Arms is a traditional Hotel with a great bar & restaurant. Car parking at the back of the property is free for clients which is a bonus. Breakfast was excellent with choice for vegetarians. The evening menu again had lots of choice for meat/ fish eaters, & vegetarian choices. The reception, bar & restaurant staff were friendly, & helpful. The hotel is five minutes from the centre of beautiful Kilkenny, & near to attractions.
